Interest rate hikes: Borrow now, pay later? By Cynthia Chung Staff Writer UCO staff, faculty and students who carry credit card balances may not have welcomed the Feb. 1 interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve. Short-term interest rates, which now stand at 6 percent, have been raised for the seventh time in the past 12 months, states an article in the Feb. 13 issue of the U.S. News and World Report. Dr. Joseph Johnson, assistant professor of economics at UCO, said that for consumers, the rate increase means "borrowing will be a bit more expensive." Short-term borrowing includes

Monthly credit card payments are destined to increase, says professor adjustible mortgage payments, automobile loans and financial aid loans. Dr. Minje Jung, assistant professor of finance at UCO, said the recent hike will lead to higher monthly payments for those who carry balances on their cards. "It is not sensible to carry cards with a high percentage of interest (APR)â&#x20AC;&#x201D;and anything over 17 percent is too high," said Jung. Jung's advice to consumers is to get rid

of credit cards that are neither needed nor used frequently and to "shop around for a lower rate plastic card." A CNN report on Feb. 23 places last year's national credit card debt at a staggering $337 billion. At least 70 percent of credit card holders do not pay off their debt in full at the end of the month, states the report. The report also said consumer spending has gone up by as much as 15 percent,

After the recent discontinuation of Edmond's high-school driving program at UCO, some Vocational Rehabilitation directors and staff at the South Central Safety Institute fear the Handicapped Driver's Training program will be next on the chopping block. As of June 31, two men will lose their job and another will be reassigned to teaching. Dr. Lonnie Gilliland, director of the South Central Safety Institute, who has been associated with the driving program for 23 years, has been offered a full-time academics job. Also, Stan Dowers, coordinator of the Driver's Improvement Program, who has been with the driving school for 10 years, and instructor Mark Howard who has been with the school for three years, have been fired.

despite the fact that earnings have only increased by a modest three percent. Johnson said, however, that for borrowers, the interest rate hike poses little cause for alarm. "Credit card interest rates, for example, change more slowly and stay more stable," he said. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said the hike was a calculated move to slow down an economy that has been growing too rapidly, but Johnson warns the move may backfire as "people try to second-guess the Fed." In anticipation of further interest rate increases, people would borrow now rather than later, said Johnson.

Smokers responsible, not tobacco companies

March 2, 1995

YoU CRIB BuY WiviE C1GRKEYILQ5. r-S1A,ST &C9N THE 5E TzEl -.FME yoRmS AND 'YoU- CAN N\rOKEI TILL (01,t aoRK, PLL 'Volt __,11((

recent court case in Mississippi made it possible to consider holding cigarette companies responsible for certain smoking-related health problems. Minnesota and West Virginia filed suits similar to a Florida law that forbids companies from arguing that smokers are partly responsible. Why not hold tobacco companies responsible? They make the things don't they? It's not as if the surgeon general hasn't been saying for the last decade that cigarettes are like coffins rolled in filter paper. How can they even make the things without a scent of remorse? That's like saying 'Hey, I've found a new way to screw up the human body! Let's offer it to a billion people with a smile.' Recent studies have reported that—as if tobacco isn't enough by itself—some cigarette companies put in extra health hazards to make their product more tasty and addictive. Why not hold them responsible? While we're at it, why don't we make alcohol companies responsible for liver disease and drunk driving. Why not? Because it's not the cigarette companies that flick the Bics and it's not the alcohol companies that guzzle the suds. If someone offers you a piece of bologna and tells you it's dipped in plutonium, you don't eat it. It's called common sense. People can decide not to smoke. They know the dangers. Yeah, yeah cigarettes ARE addictive. So is cocaine. Is there the same sympathy for a crack head violently raping an innocent fourteen-year-old girl? No; there is prison. Laws should make sure the consumer is informed about what can hurt them. Laws should enforce truth. When you light up, you get cancer. When you drink, don't drive. Practice unsafe sex and die of AIDS. People make decisions. Let them take responsibility.

CLARIFICATIO The Vista would like to clarify a headline that ran in the February 23 issue. It read, "Did 'refusal' to acknowledge a student's disability turn her grades upside-down?" The professor named in the article said he did acknowledge the student's disability. The allegation made in the article by the student, also, was that the professor did "acknowledge" her condition, but the student felt the professor did not "accommodate" the student properly. The Vista apologizes for any confusion.

Professor rebuffs headline of article

ast Thursday in The Vista was an article concerning a student's complaint that in my class I treated her unfairly. Here's a review of the facts of this case. 1. It is the responsibility of any student with a disability to inform and cooperate with the University and individual instructors concerning the disability and its ramifications on classroom performance. 2. The student has a reading comprehension disability. 3. I, as an instructor, and the University met the student's requests in Jan. 1994 and worked with her to accommodate her abilities. 4. The student performed poorly on class projects and on two tests. The test questions were mostly single words. I allowed her over two hours to complete each test—more time than was given any other student. She refused my offer to give

her the test orally. 5. At spring break, she stopped attending class. She did not discuss her decision with me. 6. She chose to not turn in over half of the semester's work. This earned her a zero for each project, test and exam missed, and therefore a semester course average of F. 7. At the end of the semester, she met with me to request that I give her a grade of I (Incomplete). 8. According to the UCO handbook, I could not give her an I since she chose to miss class and she chose to not turn in the work. 9. Ten months later, she pursues her dissatisfaction with the grade of F by filing a complaint with the school newspaper. The student made some poor decisions: cutting class, not turning in work and not discussing other options with the instructor. But these are her decisions and she must take the responsi-

bility to accept the consequences. I expect all students, with their variety of challenges and hardships, to take responsibility for their decisions and actions. I do appreciate The Vista for running a correction to the headline, "Did 'refusal' to acknowledge a student's disability turn her grades upside down?" I recognize that The Vista is a student-staffed learning environment. Mistakes are to be expected. I applaud their sincere efforts to rectify their errors.

Handicapped student responds to letter placed on her truck The following was a letter left on a student's vehicle on the UCO campus: "You don't look very handicapped to me! If I had known that being a fat - - - was a handicap, then I would have gone to get one of those handicap hanging decals myself' You have some nerve! I hope someday a truly handicapped person sees you getting out of your truck and really tells you off. You should be ashamed of yourself! But I doubt you are!"

UCO Buddhist Assoc. to hold first meeting

Here is her response: This is in response to the note that was left on my truck Thursday, Feb. 16th. I would like to respond to your quote: "You don't look very handicapped to me!" and where you state, "I hope a truly handicapped person sees you getting out of your truck and really tells you off." You're right, you did see me getting out of my truck and head off to class, but what you failed to "see" was the prayer I had said

prior to getting out of my truck— that the Lord would let me make it to class—two buildings away from where I parked because it was 25 degrees outside and I had already had a major asthma attack that morning. What you failed to "see" was the breathing treatment I had undergone that morning just to make it to class, or the condition I was in once I did make it to class. What you also failed to "see" was the medication that it takes just to make it through each day. "Handicapped" decals are not

just given out. They are requested by a licensed medical physician, and obviously my "Health Care Provider" seems to think that I should have a "handicapped" decal for obvious reasons that he is aware of. There are so many disabling health problems. Being in a wheel chair is not the only reason for needing a handicapped parking space. If I had been carrying an oxygen tank, would that have made it okay with you? As far as being ashamed of

myself, and where I park, you're right. I'm not ashamed. I don't park in front of the buildings, I leave all that area to those who are confined to a wheelchair or crutches. But as to parking in the handicap parking area two buildings away, I will continue to park there. Who knows? Maybe they will find a cure for bronchial asthma—then I will gladly give up my "handicapped hanging decal" to you. —Nancy Brewer UCO student

Direct loan tests may reap positive results Although it may not affect UCO for several years, the Clinton administration has begun a test on direct loans in 104 schools across the nation. Direct loans cut out thirdparty lending agencies from the student loan process. This eliminates extra paperwork and cuts down the processing time so that students receive their loan money faster. Currently, student loans pass through the state, a lending agency and the UCO financial aid office before being received by the student, said Kenda Henthorn, associate director of financial aid at UCO. While UCO probably won't

be involved in the program for another five years, Oklahoma State University is participating in the program, said Henthorn. Even though direct loans are being tested. there is no guarantee that the program will be put into effect, she said. When Henthorn first heard of direct loans, she said that she was opposed to the idea, but as she heard more about the program she began to support it. "If direct loans pass the test, I will definitely support the idea here." said Henthorn. Direct loans, if successful, will be enforced through legislative measures at all colleges and universities, said Henthorn.

MERIT continued from front page The committee plans to have a board of professors, which will consist of three members from each college to judge the applications. Like the Faculty Merit Credit Committee's program, the President's Partners Staff Development Program is also funded by gifts to the UCO foundation. "The purpose of the UCO staff development program is to support the teaching, learning and service function of the institution by providing opportunities for staff to enhance their professional and personnel job related abilities and knowledge base," said Dr. Ed Cunliff, chairman of the staff development committee. Successful applicants receive up to $225 to attend appropriate workshops, seminars, meetings and conferences.

Gov Keating 'salutes education' with address to UCO students By Iris Knight

Staff Writer Governor Frank Keating offered words of encouragement to the group of UCO students interested in a career in public service and leadership during the "Salute to Public Service" luncheon Feb. 24. "This institution not only presents to the state of Oklahoma a wonderful student body, but also you have contributed scholarship and talent in the economic development arena that is crucial to Oklahoma's success, Oklahoma's survival," Keating said. In the history of Oklahoma, this state has more entrepreneurs and distinguished leaders than any state in the union, he said. "We have a tremendous number of people in this state who have risen largely from humble beginnings to become successful men and women in their chosen professions," Keating said. Jim Thorpe, Mickey Mantel, Ben Johnson, Garth Brooks and Bill Crowel are among the Oklahoma leaders Keating mentioned.

"We should be proud of them." In American history, Keating said the greatest example of leadership for young people to look up to is Abraham Lincoln. With less than one year of public education, Lincoln wrote what Keating considered one of the greatest pieces of prose in American history, the Gettysburg Address. Keating encouraged the UCO students to learn from Lincoln. "You young men and women think about your future, your obligation as citizens to be leaders in your professions or your family." To be successful in life, Keating said you must have a historical foundation, know where you're going and have a magnetic north on your compass. Leadership focuses on what's right, on courage and on a real commitment to tomorrow. It is important to work together and get involved in school, said Keating. "To those of you in public service, stay the course," said Keating. "Be proud of what you do. Be leaders." VSee Related Story, Page 7

Local Mardi Gras activities are 'few and far between' By John Clanton Staff Writer

Mardi Gras may mean food, dancing, lights and fun to people living in New Orleans, but Mardi Gras activities in the Edmond area were few and far between. The French Club at UCO held their Mardi Gras celebration Tuesday night. They served King Cake, listened to Cajun music, watched the video from last years' party and played, said Monica Treece, French Club president. Not only did the University not have anything planned, there were no festivities planned for the City of Edmond, said a spokesperson for the Edmond Chamber of Commerce. Citizens of Norman however, celebrated the Mardi Gras holiday with the second annual Mardi Gras Parade and the crowning of the king and queen. Thom Renbarger was crowned King Alfalfa Joe Bob

Rubarb and Jennifer Robertson was crowned Queen Barbarella Pandora Dubois. The king and queen, dressed in 18th century French costumes, were seated on "thrones," which were toilets donated by a local plumbing shop. The parade, a 12 section procession, included a high and low jester, clowns, a dragon, a band and five floats. Participants in the parade threw necklaces, plastic coins and toys to the children who eagerly scooped up the prizes. The parade started on Main street and covered one city block. Originally slated to parade around the block three times, the procession completed two laps and then moved to the old Norman Depot. After the parade, the crowd packed themselves into the depot for a Mardi Gras Party and the King's Royal Proclamation.

Materials not accounted for in Iraq UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Iraq has not accounted for huge amounts of material that could be used to produce biological weapons, the chief U.N. weapons inspector says. Rolf Ekeus, head of the U.N. special commission for eliminating Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, told the Security Council that in the late 1980s, Iraq imported at least 22 tons of material that could be used to cultivate bacteria for germ warfare. But U.N. inspectors "can't locate it either through documents or through factual existence," Ekeus said after returning from a four-day visit to Baghdad. He said the material — growth media — could be used for peaceful purposes, such as producing medicine, but Iraq has not been able to account for it. Iraqi officials said the material was distributed for use in hospitals, but Ekeus dismissed that explanation, saying that only a few pounds would be needed in health facilities. The U.N. commission is expected to report to the Security Council in April on progress in dismantling and monitoring Iraq's weapons programs.

Terrorist dies in embassy bombing MOSCOW (AP) — A suicide terrorist, apparently protesting the war in Chechnya, blew up a bomb today in the Russian Embassy in Rabat, the Moroccan capital, a news agency said. The attacker, posing as a tourist, entered the embassy's consular section and set off a bomb he was carrying, the ITAR-Tass news agency said. The bomber was reportedly killed in the explosion. There were no other casualties, but the embassy building was damaged, it said. According to preliminary evidence, the bomber was an Egyptian carrying a small placard with the word ''Chechnya spelled out in Arabic. Many Muslims throughout the world have been sympathetic to the plight of fellow believers in Chechnya, a breakaway Russian republic where Moscow's forces are crushing a drive for independence.

The event is a fund-raiser for a March 20-24 mission trip to Memphis, Tenn., said BSU director Charles Lillard. The ministry is targeted at inner-city sections in downtown Memphis, he said. Lillard said BSU volunteers are undergoing weekly training and will work with three missions there—a food bank, a clothing bank and a ministry to children. The volunteers pay $50 each toward the trip, with proceeds from the supper covering other expenses. The supper costs $3 per person. For more information, call Lillard at 341-1232. A

WASHINGTON (AP) — A new weapon against a nearly always fatal brain cancer may be developed from a genetically altered herpes virus. In an experiment using laboratory mice, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the University of Chicago demonstrated that an altered herpes virus was able to knock out cells of one of the most lethal of human diseases, a brain cancer called malignant glioma. A report on the research was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Dr. C. Yancey Gillespie of the school of medicine at Alabama said the gene manipulation turns a very troublesome virus, herpes, into a life saver. Human gliomas kill about 95 percent of all patients within five years, despite surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. These survival figures have not improved in 20 years. About 5,000 glioma cases are diagnosed annually in the United States.

Prank calls lead to arrest of teen-ager

Specializing in the treatment of disordered eating behaviors

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The 13-year-old daughter of a hospital clerk was arrested after calling people who visited the hospital's emergency room and telling them they had the AIDS virus, police said. Tammy Lynn Esckilsen was arrested late Monday after a police officer tracked down her address by using a phone number that had come up on a victim's Caller ID, police Sgt. Malcolm Adams said. She was being held in a juvenile detention center pending a hearing Wednesday. Adams said the girl had visited her mother at work over the weekend and took a list of patients and phone numbers home with her. She told police she made the calls as a prank, he said. Esckilsen was charged with three counts of making threats, one count of assault and one count of aggravated assault.Adams said he did not know what the assault counts involved and the State Attorney's Office did not immediately return a phone call seeking detail on the charges.

`Reckless' play to make UCO debut By Paul Eddy Staff writer "Reckless" will make its UCO debut at 8 p.m. March 9. It will also be performed March 10 and 11 at 8 p.m., and March 12 at 2 p.m. The play by Craig Lucas is being directed by Donald Bristow, professor of theater at UCO, and its 16 parts are being played by seven UCO theater students. The story line probably runs the course of about 12 years, said Bristow. According to Bristow, the play is a dark comedy. It begins when Tom tells his wife, Rachel, that he has put her life in jeopardy, and that she must flee. Rachel runs away from Tom and into Lloyd, a dead-beat dad, with whom she sets out on various escapades. The stage is being set up with

three turntables, which will provide for a variety of scenery and still allow the play to move along quickly, Bristow said. The cast list is: Renee Krapff as Rachel, Steve Jackson as Tom, Matt Cheek as Lloyd, Mary Beth Snyder as Pooky and a Talk Show Guest, Josh Koehn as Roy, Tim

Timko and the host, Jodie Nestander as Trish and a Woman Patient, and Alison Crane as Doctors 1-6. Tickets are $7 for adults, $3 for senior citizens, $2 for students, and free to UCO faculty, staff and students with a valid UCO I.D.

More than just a trend The cost of tattoos and their removal can be more damaging to wallets than to students themselves By Jennifer R. Palmer Editor In Chief -

attoos, sometimes referred to as the "nose job of the `90s," have fallen out of vogue in many . 4„.,, areas of the country, leaving many people with a small identity crisis, or perhaps several small identity crises. "Tattoos are going out of style. The models and stuff are getting theirs removed—they're sick of 'em. I was 18 when I got mine, and I'm sick of it, too, " said Ashlie, a 5-foot-6-inch, thin, soft-spoken UCO senior, who will be working with children after she graduates. Her predicament is one that more and more college-goers may fall into—professionalism and tattoos. "I got it at the same time that I was (

going to OU, and I was in a sorority. They talked me into going to Dallas one weekend, it was kind of a spontaneous deal. It was more like I wasn't planning on doing it, I was just planning on going." Ashlie, left with a one-inch red rose tattoo on the inside of her left ankle, grew tired of the "permanence" of the art form over the three years that she had it—she also started to worry about the way others in her field would perceive her tattoo. "And it was just a rose tattoo not anything bizarre or anything." "But after I started looking for a career and a job standing in front of students, I mean, it's not the best thing for them to see." "I don't think they (students) would respect me as much or parents would treat me the same way. I don't think high-

school kids would think that so much, but the little (younger) ones sure might." "Not that it's drastically terrible. People should express themselves any way they want. They should just think about it first," she said. After leaving college for the career field, the next thing many students realize is that everything around them is changing, and changing fast—everything but their tattoo.

He was asked at the beginning of the procedure how it felt, and he responded, "Well, hey! It's not that bad...Doesn't hurt much..." But after three minutes into the procedure, his opinion had changed.

Although the laser treatment was originally intended for the removal of brown spots and vascular abnormalities, it is not exactly understood how the pigment is handled and disposed of by the body. However, Lehr and Hill both said they believe it is an effective and safe procedure to remove tattoos. Ashlie agreed. She said she has experienced By Jennifer R.

Tattoo alternative proves more penetrating than most weeks, and is made by using a real tattoo needle without ink, the New York Times Magazine article reported.

The blood is the ink, the experience is real, but it's temporary. (Even the pain of seeing that image every morning in the mirror.) It even fades like a real tattoo (but only after a few weeks). "Decal tattoos miss too much of the tat-

But even ego damage has been proven more temporary than any "inky mistake."

UCO sweeps regular-season finales w King hits freethow to lift z Bronchos past Cameron for 20th victory

Williams nets 20 points as women top Lady Aggies, 87-81

Sports Writer In their final regular season game of the year, the Lady Bronchos showed that they were ready for postseason action, beating Cameron, 87-81. The Lady Bronchos racked up 39 points in the first half, taking a four point lead into the second, 39-34. In the second half, the Lady Aggies put 47 points on the board but could not over power the 48 by UCO. The Lady Bronchos' 29 freethrows proved crucial as the Lady Aggies shot .529 from the field and .692 from three-point range. UCO came flying out of their late-season shooting slump, nailing 50 percent of their shots including 6-10 from three-point land. The Lady Bronchos were led by senior guard Michelle Williams with 20 points, seven rebounds and five assists. UCO also had three other players scoring double digits. Senior Regina Rehl came off the bench and bucketed 19 while fellow senior Tammie Barker netted 12. Christy Heavin continued her pursuit of the Lone Star Conference Freshman of the Year honors by scoring 15 with six rebounds.

Central Oklahoma overcame a poor performance to nip upsetminded Cameron 83-82 Monday night in Lawton. "It was our worst game of the season, but the guys did what it took to pull the win out," said Jim Askins, graduate assistant coach of the Bronchos. To get the win, 15th-ranked UCO had to come back from a 47-44 halftime deficit. In the second half, the Bronchos owned a seven point lead before scoring only 2 points in six minutes. Cameron, 12-15, responded by taking a 77-72 lead. Then senior forward Junie Sanders nailed a three-pointer and Tyshon Fisher got a conventional three-point play to put UCO ahead, 78-77. After the Aggies pulled even, Fisher, a 6-4 junior from Macon, Ga., scored to put the Bronchos up 80-78. The next tie was broken by two Sanders' freethrows, and UCO led 82-80. But, once again, Cameron knotted the score. With 36 seconds left and the game tied at 82, senior guard Ed King drew a foul and hit one of two freethrows to give the Bronchos an 83-82 lead. The Aggies had a chance to win the game, but King snagged the rebound from a missed Cameron shot with :06 left. UCO averages 108.4 points

per game, but Cameron held the Bronchos under 100 points for just the 11th time in 26 games. UCO's 83 points was its lowest output since scoring 74, also against the Aggies, on Dec. 7. "Cameron likes to play at a slower pace, but, really, we were responsible for the low score," said Askins. "We didn't do a good job of getting into our offense the way we needed to. "Hopefully, this will wake up our players. They need to realize that if they don't show up to play, we might not last long in the postseason," said Askins. Senior point guard Zoderick Green sank five three-pointers and led UCO's scorers with 21 points. Fisher and Sanders each netted 17 points. Sanders, the top rebounder in the Lone Star Conference, led all players with 10 boards. The Aggies were paced by Fred Durham's 30 points.

UCO to grapple for 4th straight national title By Scott Moore

THE VISTA

For NCAA Division II wrestling, the spotlight will shine on Kearney, Neb. Friday and Saturday. On those two days, champions will be decided during the 41-team Division II National Tournament and it will be there that the Central Oklahoma Bronchos will be attempting to grab their fourth straight Division II crown. And Central Oklahoma is the favorite. The 11-2-1 Bronchos have not lost to a Division II opponent all year (with the losses and the tie coming against Division I competition) and have maintained a permanent spot atop the rankings all season. Also, the Bronchos are corning off a dominating performance at the Midwest Regional tourney two weeks ago at Warrensburg, Mo. where they qualified all ten wrestlers (the only team at the nationals to do so) and breezed to their sixth straight Midwest Regional title. "Our guys did an outstanding job," said Head Coach David James. "We came prepared and we simply took it to them. Our

23-1 record (at the regional) speaks for itself." Indeed, actions spoke louder than words at Warrensburg. But with five wrestlers making their first national tournament appearance, repeated success at Kearney may depend upon how UCO's wrestlers react in the national tournament spotlight, James said. "We have some individuals who have not been to the national tournament yet, so I'm concerned with how those wrestlers will react and respond," said James. "But I think that the ones who have been there before will help the others out. I think that once the whistle blows things will take care of themselves." At the Midwest Regional, the Bronchos came through in a big way, crowning nine champions and one runner-up. Two wrestlers who won titles at Warrensburg will be trying to win their second straight national championship at Kearney. Brian Melchiori (at 126 lbs) and Jerry Best (142) won individual championships at last year's national tournament at Pueblo, Colo. "I think it's important for us to remember that we're going to Kearney to win a national cham-

pionship and not to defend one," said James. "There will be added pressure if you go out there with the perspective that you're going to defend. The bottom line is that we're going to have to shelve what's happened in the past." "With winning three straight national titles, everybody's going to be taking a pop at us," said James. "We can't take anything for granted. We have to get after it, make things happen, create our own breaks and not get caught up in what's happening around us."

Bronchos host hoops tourney A

Men's team looks to lock up bid to national tournament By Mike Erwin

Four teams will be fighting for an automatic bid to the NCAA Division II national tournament this weekend when Central Oklahoma hosts the Lone Star Conference Postseason Tournament. The 15th-ranked Bronchos earned the role of host by winning the LSC regular season title with a 10-2 record. An LSC tournament championship will guarantee UCO its third trip to the national tournament in four years. A first-round loss, however, would leave the Broncho hopes in jeopardy.

"We're not a lock for the national tournament. We're ranked second in our region (South Central) and the top six teams make it to the regional tournament. It looks good but you can never count on getting in because of all the politics. We'd like to take care of it on the court." UCO and second-place Angelo State both got first round byes and will play their first games in the semifinals Friday night. The Bronchos, 20-6 overall, will face the winner of Tuesday night's West Texas A&M/East Texas State game at 8 p.m. Angelo State plays first at 6 p.m. against the winner

of Texas A&M-Kingsville and Eastern New Mexico. Regardless of the Bronchos' semifinal opponent, it will be a team UCO has already defeated twice this season. "By the time you play a team three times, they've had a chance to see you play enough to know what your tendencies are," said Jim Askins, graduate assistant coach of UCO. "In that regard it's difficult to beat a team three times. But if we had won one and lost won against either team, it would be just as hard." Should the Bronchos advance to Saturday night's final at 8 p.m., a showdown with Angelo State is possible. The Rams handed UCO both of its conference loss-

"On January 10, Carl Reherman came in and said, in front of everyone, 'As of June 31, you two guys (Dowers and Howard) have no job," said Gilliland. Carl Reherman, executive director of the Office of Outreach, said, "We'll have one permanent person, and if that person needs an adjunct in those programs, we'll have them there, but we only need one full-time person to run the program." Gilliland disagrees with the judgement, however. "One person can't handle it," said Gilliland. "They may downsize or offer more classes, but they can't stay with 12 students and downsize the staff." Gilliland believes four staff members is the bare minimum for 12 students. UCO President George Nigh said, "Whatever the right size for the personnel is, that's what we'll have. It's not downsizing, it's not upsizing, it's rightsizing. If we discover that it needs four, we'll have four; if we discover that we don't need four, we won't have four." In response, Reherman explained that the class will be increased from four to eight sessions, thus cutting the class to about half of its original size. "We've been working with the program and developing and making it more open to the users by increasing the number of sessions," said Reherman. Lynn Holdsclaw, Vocational Rehabilitation counselor, agrees with Gilliland about the staff cuts. "How can the handicapped program have a chance if you start stripping away all these little components?" Holdsclaw said she feels that the university's administration is falling into typical form, saying one thing and doing another.

She explained that during summer school, handicapped students weren't able to get to the Liberal Arts Building because only one side of the building was accessible and administration wasn't willing to do anything about it until some students threatened to go to a local television station for media coverage. "This came after a speech to the Oklahoma Rehab. Association, saying he (Nigh) wants UCO to be accessible," said Holdsclaw. Gilliland shares Holdsclaw's viewpoint. He explained that he presented to Reherman the amount of money it would take to keep Edmond's high-school driving program at UCO. When Reherman presented the figures to the Edmond School Board, they had changed from $207,000 to $270,000. The rate per student jumped from $100 to $272. "He went to the Edmond School Board and presented exaggerated figures to force them to get out," said Gilliland. "They don't tell the truth." Holdsclaw believes UCO administration's version of selfsufficiency is just a slick way of cutting a program. She said the university won't allot a program anymore money, and will tell them they have to be self-sufficient; therefore, when the program can't support itself, they will close it down. "Then Nigh can say, 'I didn't shut them down, they just couldn't afford to stay open,' and he won't be perceived as the bad guy," she said. Discussions have already started and requests have already been made to Nigh for

the space at the driving range. "We've had several people make a request, because we're an overcrowded campus. (They ask), `If the space becomes available, could we be considered for that space?" Nigh said. Nigh is looking into several options, including a suggestion by Reherman to tear down the driving range and have the students learn to drive in the parking lots on afternoons and weekends. "(If the students could train in the parking lots), then all that land over there would be available for other things, such as parking. As we review each program, if it frees up something, we'll consider its use," said Nigh. The Handicapped Driver's Education program has been on the forefront for 23 years, said Gilliland. It's the only facility of its kind in the state, and over 1000 handicapped people have gone through the course. During the past 20 years, over 88 percent of the students have completed the course, meaning they have received their driver's license. Some people with disabilities can't get their license unless they take and pass this four-week course, said Bob Hansen, Vocational Rehabilitation counselor. "There'll be a lot of people with disabilities who won't be able to get a driver's license (if the school is shut down)," he said. Shelly Stephens, 27, sophomore psychology major, has Transverse Myelitis, which confines her to a wheelchair and limits her mobility. She is one person who has not had the opportunity to

agreement about how much it will cost everyone to keep the program operational. Contract negotiations will begin in March. "I'm going to ask that it stays open," said Hansen. "We consider this a real crucial program." Nigh responded to the charges of the driving school being shut down, "It's our intent to keep it open; we're appreciative of them. We think it provides a service, but it behooves us, at the same time, to try to make it self-sufficient. We're discussing their contract, but to my knowledge, nobody's told them they're going to be shut down." "It's an unfounded rumor." —By Jason Webb Vista Staff Writer

take the driving course, yet. "I've wanted to drive since I was 16. The only reason I haven't taken it yet is because I haven't had a van," said Stephens. "It (a van) would allow me to live off campus. My whole life is dependent on someone else until I get wheels." Stephens believes the handicapped driving school is in the ideal spot. "This is the best location for it, because this is Central Oklahoma," she said. "Part of my decision to go to this university was because it was here." Although rumors are circulating, Hansen, Reherman and Nigh feel confident they will reach an

MOVIE REVIEWS

AROUND TOWN

—Reviews By David L. Hanigar & Jennifer R. Palmer/ The Vista The following is a list of events taking place in the metro area for the weekend of March 3-5.

Movie Ratings: Reviews are set up on a five-point rating scale: Five is the highest rating possible and one is the lowest.

Roommates adds to list of 'oldies' With Driving Miss Daisy; Grumpy Old Men, Guarding Tess, Unforgiven and a small list of others, it would be hard to argue that the nineties haven't seen an interest in movies about "older" people.

The writing is okay and the directing is mediocre. Neither really deserve a whole lot of mentioning. Although certain scenes of the movie only get a portion of the response they needed to, the humor and emotions are typical as compared to other movies of •1D 4 this nature.

Rating: 4•

Heavyweights a large loss to audience Walt Disney has released another corny "junior grows up" movie. Surprised? If so, you'll dig this movie. If not, your fouryear-old kid probably won't even dig it.

Friday ✓ "Personals" will be presented March 325 at Stage Center at 400 S. Sheridan. Call 232-6500 for reservations or information.

Rating: st• The only different thing about this movie is that it begins with freeze-framed "plumber's crack" scenes with husky juveniles jumping into a pond in a "promotional home video" made for the chubster's parents. It also starts with, "I am NOT going to a FAT CAMP." Regardless, Gerry (Aaron Schwartz) goes, only to find out the camp has been bought out by fitness freak Tony Perkis (Ben Stiller, supine) who is out to turn a buck making an "infomercial" exploiting the camp. The boy pairs up with a mini Tone-Loc look-alike named Roy (Kenan Thompson), a gangster wanna-be named Josh (Shaun

For a group of heavyweight kids at Camp Hope, big is beautiful and thin is not in. (The Walt Disney Co. All rights reserved.) Weiss) and other assorted kids with "cute but bad" attitudes. The movie shows how the boy learns to accept himself for who he is, chubby or not. Pubescent pre-teens may just appreciate it. It even has the typical MTV generation-induced "minivideo" scenes, including a part where the band Bow-WowWow's pop classic (you guessed it) "I want Candy" is played while, in the middle of the night, campers raid a tree stump

filled with sugary goodies. What fun. The plot is recycled and the dialogue, surprisingly, has a few cuss words thrown in (possibly for humor?), but the theme is everlasting: Do what's right and love who you really are, not who you want to be. The movie does not rate, by any means, anywhere near other Disney classics like Pollyanna or even D2: Mighty Ducks II. Too bad. It could have been so much better.

Recreation: Friday • The Myriad Botanical Gardens in downtown Oklahoma City are open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is $3 for adults, $1.25 for children ages 4-12, $2 for seniors ages 62 and older and $2.50 for groups of 20 or more. ✓ The Oklahoma City Calvary will host Harrisburg on March 3 in the Myriad Convention Center.
